Yes I thought I knew my Bible Reading piecemeal, hit or miss Now a part of John or Matthew Then a bit of Genesis Certain chapters of Isaiah Certain psalms, the twenty-third First of proverbs, twelfth of Romans Yes, I thought I knew the Word But I found that thorough reading Was a different thing to do And the way was unfamiliar When I read my Bible through You who like to play at Bible Dip and dabble here and there Just before you kneel all weary Yawning through a hurried prayer. You who treat this crown of writings As you treat no other book Just a paragraph disjointed Just a crude impatient look. Try a worthier procedure Try a broad and steady view; You will kneel in awesome wonder When you read the Bible through.
